Expansion reservoir for a coolant circuit

摘要

Expansion reservoir (1) for a coolant circuit, having a fill opening (3) that can be closed by a lid (2) and is located in the geodetically upper region of the expansion reservoir (1), wherein a differential-pressure-controlled valve (4) having at least two switching positions is integrated into the lid (2), and having at least one inlet port (5) which opens into a lid region (10), and an outlet port (6) in the geodetically lower region of the expansion reservoir (1), wherein the inlet port (5) is closed by the valve (4) in a first switching position and is opened in at least one second switching position, thus allowing the inlet port (5) to vent into the expansion reservoir (1).
